Er, most fun four-digit year, that is. If you're permitted a starting digit sequence of arbitrary length, you can arrange for as many consecutive numbers from 1 to be reachable as you like: simply select N 1s, and you'll be able to make everything from 1 up to N at least just by adding together some number of 1s and multiplying by the rest.
